How to Let Go of the Memories of What's Been Done to You
1- Forgiveness is not a feeling, it's a choice… Your life must be lived in a way in which you never forget what Jesus did for you, so that you make the choice to give out freely what you feel like you don't even possess. If you wait for the feeling, your faith will slowly wither, as forgiveness is foundational to what it means to be a child of God.
2- The speed of your forgiveness reveals the depth of your understanding of grace; the quicker you forgive the more it reveals how deep the cross has touched your life... “He who has been forgiven much, forgives much..”.. Some of the reason we struggle to forgive others is because we struggle to receive forgiveness for ourself. We lock people in the prison of shame, guilt and self hatred that we struggle to believe that God has freed us from. If your not free, you cannot give freely.
3- If you do not choose to forgive from the heart, your heart will always go through the torture of unforgiveness…. Waiting for people to pay for something that they could never repay, choking people for what they have done to us… Even when the test isn’t reconciliation, its can we move forward. We must choose to have patience with those who we want to have no part of patience with, and trust that as our sins have been washed, so too God can wash there sin away from our subconscious as well.
